Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set (when available), which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard; iLife ’09, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork ’09, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
I hope that you don't have to get all that! If they do sell it on it's own, I bet it's going to be $129
Hmmm...looks like they are forcing you to get the package. I wonder if it's because Leopard users already paid $129?
For Tiger users with an Intel-based Mac, the Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 and will be available for a suggested price of $169 (US) and a Family Pack is available for a suggested price of $229 (US).

$169. That sounds like a reasonable price.
I don't care what anyone else says. I'm more excited about Snow Leopard than probably any other version of OS X besides Panther. The upgrade itself doesn't look that spectacular, but it's going to bring a sea change. Starting with the swift death of PowerPC/Universal Binaries.

Also looks like Safari 4 will have the ability to stay up if a tab crashes. I've been using Explorer 8 at work for a couple of months, and I love that particular feature.

Couldn't agree more. I'm happy to see full OS optimization. Besides, I'm just now starting to feel comfortable using more and more tools that the original Leopard brought. I don't feel like anything is "lacking" - so I just assume they not add more bloat to the mix.
I suspect that OS 10.7 will be pooping new features like a baby eating fruit salad anyway - I can wait, and I'll be quite used to pooping babies by then.
